Overview

The best of Dominican Republic is usually between the towns, and this 9-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Punta Cana · Santo Domingo, and every night booked ahead — so Punta Cana all-inclusive beaches and Saona Island catamaran happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

Dec – Apr is the sweet spot for Dominican Republic (Americas), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹1,86,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Dominican Republic visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

★★★★★
Our anniversary trip to Punta Cana was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.

Went for our anniversary trip and everything from the Punta Cana itinerary to the return was handled with care. The hotels were exactly the category promised. Will book our next trip with them too.
